Food is good but service is terrible- and the coffee is mediocre at best. I literally took 45 minutes to get a pancake and a cup of soup...

Today was my first visit and OH MY GOODNESS!!! It was amazing and I will surely be back! I had the Chicken Fried Steak as my actual meal and it was awesome - so tasty!!! I also had a cup of the Mulligatawny - never heard of it before today but will certainly order it again. It is a curry-based, chicken and spinach soup with a scoop of rice in the middle. Such a comforting dish! When I saw their Ham and Swiss Quiche, I had to have a slice so that and my soup came home for dinner! Great portions and wonderfully friendly and helpful staff makes this a FOR SURE RETURN!!! read more

Great spot to grab coffee and breakfast. I had an Americano and jack on the bean stalk. It was a flour tortilla with a veggie patty under two eggs over easy. This was covered with guacamole, red sauce and sour cream. Great breakfast that hit the spot, not to heavy but you will definitely not leave hungry! read more

We had a couple of salads which were ample and tasty, along with some very good bread baked on-premises. The servers were very friendly and helpful. A nice stop along the way to Glacier. read more

I've been getting bread here 20 years, and it's still fantastic. Pecan raisin has always been a favorite. The food is great, too! Jack-and-a-Bean-Stack is my go-to for breakfast. Homemade tortilla, with an amazing black bean cake, topped with an egg, melted cheese, salsa, guava and sour cream. Outstanding. They care about the food they serve, that's the best way I know to describe it. read more

The best pies and pie crust I've EVER had!!! The huckleberry pies are amazing with a close second on the huckleberry-raspberry pie!!

Delicious food, friendly help and a great atmosphere, complete with live guitar music. The chicken mulligatawny soup is my favorite!

We loved this bakery. Had breakfast there twice. Enjoyed their huckleberry pancakes with real maple syrup, peasant bread and sourdough bread. They had an egg dish with black beans and mushrooms that was delicious. Friendly wait staff! read more

Just went in for brunch and had the biscuits and gravy and a cup of coffee. It was superb! Reminded me of when I was a kid and my grandmother made breakfast for me. Excellent coffee too! 5 stars are not enough for this one. read more

This place was so good! I had the chicken salad and other family members had meatball sub, pizza , roast beef etc and we all thought it was very fresh and good ! I also had a pastry that was delish!!! read more

This is a food oasis!! We stopped here on our way up to Glacier National. Kids had a superb margherita pizza, my wife and I had crisp homemade gazpacho and sandwiches. We bought fresh bread, homemade granola and cookies to go. Great vibe and service. read more

Grateful Bread Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Bigfork, Montana

We are soooo happy that the Grateful Bread is open this fall and winter! Bigfork desperately needs this delicious bakery and fantastic restaurant. They take great care in using the best, quality ingredients that are fresh and chemical free. That is very important to me as a mom. My daughter loves the Thai Chicken Salad, and I always enjoy the soup or a yummy sandwich! They've recently hired some excellent new staff that do a great job and are very friendly. We loved it! read more

We are have enjoyed breakfast and lunch's here, and saw they were serving dinner, it happens to be Friday and it turns out we had very pleasant live Guitar music with our dinner. Food was delicious, we'll be back! read more

Excellent Coffee and delicious fresh baked bread. They are not open on Sundays and there was a busy line today. The service was good for a busy morning. read more

This place is OK if you enjoy SSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW and rude service. The woman who takes the order has the personality of a door stop and would rather talk about her tattoos to the other employees than greet customers with a smile. Really classy. This was my first time to Big Fork and my last. Every where I go up here it seems the personality has been sucked dry. The only thing good was the actual sandwich I ordered. Next time, I'll pack PB&J and skip the rudeness altogether. read more

The atmosphere and the concept is great. While I didn't eat there, the food all looked great at least as far as what I saw other people eating. However, the service was horrible. Awful. I have to believe that the owner of the establishment simply cannot be aware of how rude her front staff is. My wife and I walked in there one morning simply for coffee and were greeted as if we were inconveniences to the girl working at the front. We were technically tourists (even though I have been going to Bigfork and the area for over 35 years) and were treated as inconvenient visitors. Additionally, my family had purchased coffee/catering service for a memorial service being held for a family member in nearby Ferndale. When my wife came to return the equipment that my family had certainly paid handsomely to borrow/rent - no one even bothered to come out to help her carry it back into the store or barely acknowledge her presence at all. They all stood around and stared at her like she was once again just an inconvenient tourist. I am not quite sure if the Grateful Bread's core business excludes serving and being courteous to tourists....but I am quite sure that the very existence of the establishment is heavily dependent upon them - the entire village of Bigfork is. I recommend that people simply take their business up the road and around the corner about 500 yards into the village to another bakery/café and bypass this place until they can figure out the importance of service with a smile and making the customer feel as if they matter instead of an inconvenience. Service is the key to any establishment like this regardless of the quality of the product they are serving. read more

I was hoping to be able to say positive things but sadly, I can't. I ordered a simple chicken salad sandwich because I knew it was already a prepared selection. It took quite a long time & I even had to go up & ask when it would be ready as I watched people in the back prep area talking amongst themselves. I did get the sandwich finally & it was less than tasty, very bland with no seasoning. I'd get a sandwich at the grocery store next door first. read more

What a nice little place, with surprisingly inventive takes on traditional fare. First of all their chile relleno quiche? What a great idea, delicious and not spicy. The mulligatawny soup, on the other hand, was actually a really well made curry, which let me tell you I did not expect at a cute little bakery like this! Add on some homemade peasant bread toast and iced tea, and the result was a lunch far more delicious than I had ever bargained for. read more

A couple of weeks ago, while on vacation in Big Fork, my family and I stopped by Grateful Bread for brunch. The food was so good, we ended up returning no less than 3 additional meals during our week-long visit. The breakfasts were perfectly prepared, the salads were fresh and delicious, the burger was on point, and the pizza was great. I'm extremely picky when it comes to my food and it's extremely rare that I would go back to the same restaurant multiple times while on vacation (I usually prefer to try a variety of places). But this place was so consistently good, and the food was so freshly prepared, we kept coming back. The friendly servers, owner who cares, and free WiFi were the 'icing on top'. We'll definitely be back if we're ever visiting the Bigfork, MT area again!! read more

great little place with quality breakfast and lunch. large selection of sandwiches and obviously their bread is very good. read more

Stopped in for Coffee.. The coffee was luke warm, at best but tasted ok. It looked like there was a good amount of people enjoying themselves here. I did try a cinnamon roll here, and it was decent. read more

A nice little cozy Cafe close to home. Staff is always friendly. Breakfast and coffee is always delicious here.

I enjoy picking up fresh pastries to DIE for when i'm going to a friends house who I want to fatten up. Seriously, their breads and pastries are so rich and delicious that I gain 5 pounds just looking at them! Their sandwhich wraps are a staple on my healthy diet and I like their chicken blue salad the best, but the veggie wrap is also a really great lunch. Try them all! I'll read your reviews. read more

Yum! Breakfast burrito! Yum! Jack on the Bean Stack! Yum! Fresh ingredients, friendly service! yum!

What a gem in a such a small town. I was visiting Bigfork from Las Vegas, NV and couldn't find a similar place back home if I tried. Everything's baked fresh and the coffee is top notch. Definitely gets busy after 08:00 during the tourist season. read more

For being a bakery, the Grateful Bread lacks a surprising amount of bread. It did have delicious berry pie and good cookies though. Nothing exceptional but a nice stop either way. read more

Very friendly. We had the curry chicken salad, tuna melt, egg salad sandwich and pepperoni pizza. All were fabulous. We ordered the large curry salad, it erred on the small side, not enough to share. A wonderful stop. read more

Got the chicken curry wrap... First off took almost 45 minutes to get, saw people coming in and out getting there food after ordering, don't know if they forgot or what. But if your going to go don't get the wrap nothing special thought it was going to be the best thing ever for how long they took but I was utterly disappointed. On a positive note the atmosphere was chill and my cousins meal looked good. read more

I haven't had anything here I didn't like! Try the peasant bread with cranberry cream cheese- you won't regret it!

Had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict with gluten free bread and it was very very good!

Have been eating here since they opened. Great homemade food. Everything here is wonderful. Love it!

Ate here several times during our Montana honeymoon vacation. We loved the food the first time and had to keep coming back. Their breakfast sandwiches were excellent. They have a good choice of different kinds of breads to get, and the peasant bread we tried was surprisingly delicious. The breakfast burrito was also great. We picked up breakfast here a few times before heading out to Glacier Park and the food was exactly what we needed to get through a day of hiking, filling and tasty. We tried a couple pastries as well and those were baked perfectly. All their baked goods looked incredible and if our trip had been longer I would have tried them all. The one minor drawback was there was a long wait time a few times we were in there. I think they are rearranging the restaurant and cashier system so that probably has a lot to do with it. Otherwise, the service was great. Very friendly and polite. read more

The food was great! The service was a little lacking. The water was in a large beverage server, but i had to ask for ice for the water, lemons.. in a cafe, I expect to be able to serve myself. I think a to go order would've been better, since the food was really good. read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! They have an amazing staff, food, treats, and more! Everything is homemade and tastes grate! (see what i just did!!) All the drinks are the bomb, but my fav is the smoothie. Don't get me wrong, the coffee is great, but I have never been much of a coffee lover. I really recommend the Hobo bread, with is fresh baked bread baked in a can. The cinnamon rolls will have you ready to buy 100 of them. The cookies are also really good. A great quiet, relaxing place to hangout! read more

We stopped for a quick lunch. I only wish I could eat there a few more times. So many things to try. It was a bit on the pricey side to my dad....8.50 for a sandwich? That being said it was a large sandwich and we were both full after eating. I don't mind paying a bit more for great food and enough food. I topped off my meal with a peanut butter cookie-awesome! The place was crazy busy so we took ours to go. They also serve it with potato chips. read more

Visiting from California we stopped into this bakery for a snack. Everything we tried was excellent. It tasted fresh and everything is made from scratch. We tried the almond cream cheese danish, pumpkin cookie, gingersnap cookie, pull apart muffin and everything was excellent. If you're driving by you must stop in to this cute bakery!! read more

Enjoyed the remodel, new menus and table service. Good to have breakfast options in the off season with tasty food and pleasant staff

Stopped by for breakfast on our way back from Glacier. We had a breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich, and a few pastries. Everything was delicious and the staff was very friendly. read more

I have had some great food from here but my experience today with only paying my bill has me so furious that I had to write a review. I called my order in for my coworker and myself. When I came to pick it up I asked if it would be a problem to split the bill and I received no verbal response but a storming off to ask for help making me feel as though I had just asked her to move mountains for me. When I got the total for my sandwich it was $2 more than the menu I had at work and I asked her if the prices went up and she insisted with an almost laughing at me tone- "the menu has NOT changed." The service I received during the few minutes it took to pay my bill has left me absolutely appalled that I paid $9.50 for a veggie sandwich that wasn't even toasted. Over it! read more

3.5 stars. We have been here twice for lunch when visiting Bigfork. There are hits and misses. The pizza is very nice, with a hearty wheat crust generously dusted with cornmeal, crispy and topped with an excellent quality/quantity of cheese. I'd definitely return Grateful Bread in the future, and stick to a large pizza to feed the whole family on the cheap. The sandwiches are ok. The bread kind of falls apart on you, and the meats are your standard grocery deli counter fare. My oriental chicken salad was fine; very crisp and a nice dressing, but I wasn't a fan of the chicken. It had no seasoning and didn't look very appetizing. The atmosphere is not good - it's WAY too dark! They need to add lights! That being said, next time we're in Bigfork, we will not hesitate to return here...for the pizza. read more
